When you open your ears to an album based on the film based on the cartoon Aqua Teen Hunger Force you probably are better off knowing exactly what you're getting into. Then again, who in their right mind other than fans of the uber irreverent show would even be listening to the soundtrack from the movie?

As can be expected Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters Colon The Soundtrack is as bugged as Master Shake, Meatwad, and Frylock would lead one to believe. How so? For starters the lead off track, "Nude Love," features Shake himself doing his best to carry on the time honored tradition of the blues. Of course it's done full monty Shake stylee, which means that it's off the rail. But then what did you expect, a paint-by-numbers cover of some Robert Johnson classic?

With "Groovy Time For A Movie" we get a sonic bastardization of those old school "intermission" ditties that used to blare through the speakers stuck to your passenger side car window at the drive-in. Except this one has a line that warns patrons from whipping out their golden member during the break as it's a class 2 felony. Just as these words of wisdom are sinking in things get shot through the main vein with maximum adrenalin thanks in kind to Mastadon who whip out "Cut You Up With A Linoleum Knife," a blazing excursion into screeching and gurgling metallic mayhem. Headrush blitzkrieg supreme. At 1-minute and 50-seconds it's a short blast of intensity that should leave you stunned.

At this juncture one might be lulled into a false sense of reprieve. Au contraire, mon frere. The Aqua Teen crew keep things on full title with Early Man's "More To Me Than Meat and Eyes," which wraps the guitars and drums in a sludge of turgid bass while frontman Mike Conte delivers a sneering vocal rant.

If scathing metal meltdown ain't your thang, then you probably might want to check out around about now, cuz even O.G. gangsta rapper supreme and Philly baller Schoolly D kicks out the ballistics on the rawk tip with "ATHF Theme (Remix)" fueling his rhymes with squelching guitar and high pitched scratch attack. The high impact soniference continues on UnEarth's blistering "The Chosen," which is given the mellow intro courtesy of Meatwad himself. The juxtaposition of Wad's quiet demeanor and UnEarth's thunder crack maelstrom is enough to melt a weaker individual's mind to buttery goo. Again, searing guitars are the modus operandi of the day, so if you fear the six-string sizzle, then best you cover your ears and cry in a quiet corner somewhere.

Party King supreme Andrew W.K. emerges from self-induced obscurity with "Party Party Party," a short, sharp (it's only 1-minute and 56-seconds long) ode to one of his favorite pastimes: partying (how many songs can this dude pen about partying anyway?). Regardless of your feelings about the man, the song is infectious in its simplicity. Plus the piano bits are nice. Take that antacid and party.

9lb Hammer kick out the jams on "Carl's Theme," which naturally, is introduced by the sleazeoid himself. The segue from Andrew W.K. to this is pretty decent as W.K. almost slipped into a vintage Iggy Pop motif and 9lb continue this vibe, sounding not unlike early Stooges or MC5 in their own garagey renegade way.

By far and large Brass Castle's contribution is the best named tune on the entire effort. "Bookworm Resin." The song continues the descent into rock decay, sounding more like something dredged up from a long lost basement tape than anything else. The ragged uncertainty and controlled sloppiness make the track bristle and gleam and feel like the druggy afterdose you'd get from reading a really cool book. Or something like that.
